That is bad, you don't want to douse them with anything, as it can cause them to regurgitate into your skin and spread disease they may carry. They take days of being connected to pass disease so if you catch them in time you can not catch anything.

You want to grab by the head and pull it off, slowly even, to make sure the head doesn't break off.
